The Widow's Might - 60sec Trailer

Making a movie is great and editing a movie is even better! The only thing better than editing a movie? ...creating a movie trailer! This is the the third movie trailer I've made for films outside ReelCast Productions and this one will be playing in theaters!

The 60 second trailer for The Widow's Might is now online!! Click here! Be sure to come back and let me know what you think :)

Theatrical Release
"The theatrical release is a short run; only one week on 100 screens, starting on April 13'th, so this is a very limited chance to view the film in theaters. If the film does well, it's run will be extended. More info and locations will be posted here and here later this week."

The Penny Teaser!

There is finally a teaser/trailer up for one of the films I worked on last year "The Penny."

The Penny Teaser from Filmweavers LLC on Vimeo.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the project, here is a brief synopsis:
“The Penny” is a drama/thriller that follows a series of seemingly insignificant events in a number of people’s lives. Hidden amidst their “bigger” problems, these disconnected pieces of their lives go unnoticed until they begin to fit together in a totally unexpected way. Suddenly these strangers are thrust together by what some would call luck, chance, fate, coincidence, or even destiny. But is it something even bigger than that?

You can watch the video in HD at the Filmweavers website!

Reaching for Character
This is a one hour training video that I've been working on called "Reaching for Character." It is designed to introduce organizations to the basics and benefits of CharacterFirst! - Visit the website here.

Pendragon Trailer
Pendragon: Sword of His Father has a new "official trailer" in the works! I've finished a first draft of the trailer which the Burns Family Studio team seemed very happy with! There is still a lot of work to do...but stay tuned, it should be online in several weeks!

The Widow's Might
I just finished a 60 sec Teaser Spot for The Widow's Might! It's hard to fit a storyline into 60sec...much less when it's a musical/comedy!! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out though. John said it should be posted online within the next several days. Next...a real length trailer!

2008 Character First Awards

The Lost Medallion - IMDb

Apparently this is one of their sets! Looks like a great place to film!These are the two main characters.

Here is the official IMDb page - and a very short blog post.

Richard Ramsey update

Richard Ramsey (director of The Oath) is now working at City On A Hill Productions. He recently posted a video that he produced about "Economic Opportunities."
"Economic Opportunities exists to teach God's work ethic to high-risk men in order for them to know Christ more intimately, to become contributing members of the workforce, and to gain hope in a future."
I found the video to be very impacting and touching. You can watch the video on Richard's blog.

The Penny - 2nd Rough

The Penny, the upcoming feature film from Filmweavers has reached the official "2nd Rough Cut."

Head over and check out their blog for more info and a couple more still frames from the movie!

Spurs of Change

Spurs of Change is the working title for the next official film project from ReelCast Productions and Dallas Christian Film Makers. It will be a feature length film set in a modern day time period. I am hesitant to really promote the project until we have the needed money for the film because without money...movies don't happen.

Short synopsis:
"Chris and Harry despise each other, and Chris jumps at the opportunity to “pay Harry back” for firing his mom. Little does Chris know that it will result in his having to spend all summer with Harry’s brother—Phil. As the summer continues, his friendship with Phil grows; while secretly, the hatred for Harry does too. But then the unthinkable happens, and Harry finally gets his chance for “revenge”!"

We have a full screenplay for the project which is full of action, emotion and comedy! Currently we are still revising the script to make it even better! You can find more information about the film at the official movie blog where you can also sign up for updates as the project progresses.

The Lost Medallion

The Lost Medallion is the first film in the youth action adventure series entitled The Adventures of Billy Stone. Described as “an Indiana Jones for tweens.”

Synopsis
Archaeologist Dr. Michael Stone looked for the lost medallion his entire life, and now his son Billy (Unger, seen at right) has taken up the search. Amazingly, the medallion ends up in Billy’s hands and a spontaneous wish in a precarious situation takes Billy and his best friend Allie (Hanratty), back 200 years to what they realize is a very different Aumakua Island.

When Billy and his friends are not jumping off waterfalls, avoiding animal traps, crossing the ocean, sneaking through caves or escaping a prison they're facing their nemesis Cobra (Dacascos), who wants nothing more than for them all to disappear. With no other way to get home, and the wellbeing of the entire island resting on his shoulders, Billy must discover the key to reclaiming the medallion and its tremendous power. One way or another, this adventure will change Billy, and life on the island, forever.

Writer/Director: Bill Muir (writer of Invisible Enemies, The Crossing, and Without Reservation)
Producers: Kevin and Bobby Downes (The Moment After 1 & 2, Mercy Streets, Like Dandelion Dust)
Filming locations include Erawan National Park, the historic ruins of Minh Sa, the beach resort area of Krabi, and Bangkok.

This is the only source for this information that I have found, but I'll be trying to find out more as the film progresses. Original article on Christian Cinema.
